One dimensional? I get what you are saying, but the guy was about as multidimensional as it gets... lockdown cover corner, returner, WR, AND professional baseball player.
Just from playing the defensive side of the ball. Yes, he also excelled at KR and PR, and was a threat at WR, but never marquee at WR. And yes, he had a solid baseball career for as short as it was. He could have piled up the stats if he was committed to just one sport. Great athlete for sure - just sucks at tackling. :)
True. To be fair, I doubt he ever got accustomed to much contact in HS or college... and even then, no one could seem to square him up in the NFL either. And it's not like the WR he was covering needed to be tackled very often either (when they actually threw his way). The rest was probably a wise business decision on his part, given the broken face he suffered playing WR.
Best cb of all time
just packed him in a legends pack
44 BSH, yikes
He never was known for stopping the run game and frequently avoided tackling. Definitely one dimensional, but the best at shutting down WRs.
